A Message Concerning Babylon
31 One man, running, will give word to another, and one who goes with news will be handing it on to another, to give word to the king of Babylon that his town has been taken from every quarter: 32 And the ways across the river have been taken, and the water-holes ... burned with fire, and the men of war are in the grip of fear. 33 For these are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a grain-floor when it is stamped down; before long, the time of her grain-cutting will come.
